Knottingley's glass-making history is behind it, but its terraces and later housing stand beside the Aire and Calder Navigation, where banks of damp grass invite moles.
Waterside grass is one of the most dependable mole habitats around, because the soil stays damp and full of worms. Knottingley's terraces and later housing run close to the navigation, and Ferrybridge is next door. A garden that backs onto a bank may see tunnelling that begins outside the fence and runs straight into the lawn. That is a very direct route for the animal.
We look for the entry point and the direction of the runs first. The next step is a calm explanation of the lawful ways of removing the animal, without poison, and a realistic idea of how many visits may be needed. This is outdoors work only. Free surveys are available for homes, and the quote depends on the size of the ground.
Yes, it is next to Knottingley and is part of the same area for our visits. Give us the address when you contact us and we will arrange the survey. Tell us your postcode as well.
The bank is likely to belong to someone else, such as a waterway owner. You can still tell us what you are seeing, and we will explain what we can deal with on your own land.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
